its very clear that terrorists have infiltrated the military and perpetrated this awful attack

i think it's time they started bombing themselves to root out the problem,

This isn't an outlier. Strikes on civilian targets are a daily occurrence. Just last week the Saudis struck a wedding in Yemen in one of the other proxy wars happening in the region, killing 70 people including many children. The only difference here is that MSF have a huge following and a voice.

There's a tom clancy game where the main character disguises as a wounded soldier to infiltrate the enemy hospital, then he kills the doctors and the people who rescued him

the us simply doesnt allow itself to be prosecuted for war crimes. like, there could be an unprecedented global consensus to have a trial and the us still wouldnt give a poo poo because no real countries are willing to go to war over it. so, they get to do whatever they want with no legal consequences.

Yeah you need more than an agreement to do something against the US, like say a military and a pair of nuts

I thought Obama said he was pulling the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and closing Guantanamo, and giving free healthcare and a bunch of other poo poo he said during his campaign. I thought he was against war, I thought he'd bring change, now all I think is we should be busting into the white house and executing every single one of these thugs on live TV.

the u.s. has actually signed ~102 bilteral agreements never to send Are Troops to the ICC. the strongarming behind this was one of the largest pieces of damage done to u.s. diplomatic credibility (aside from like, invading iraq) but it was never big news

take a look overhead
Would the US really intentionally bomb a hospital? Seems like a gently caress up. A routine gently caress up at this point. Maybe all the drone pilots Are drinking sizzurp on the job.
Afganistan, and probably the whole "muslim world" is cursed. Everybody give up on. Let it die. Then in a couple decades it can be repopulated with sane people. Maybe. Maybe best to just leave a swath of our world as a graveyard, and reminder of what religious bullshit and war for profit causes.

Obama brought the troops out of Iraq but only because the Iraqi government didn't want to renew judicial immunity agreement for US soldiers.

So Iraqi government forced him to follow once his feel good campaign trail promises.

Afghanistan was cool back in the 50s and early 60s. Sunni and Shia were cool with one another before the US started meddling in Iran and the Levant. Insanity has resulted from tinpot dictatorships like Saddam and the Shah, and from decades of conflict. If you head to places like Amman or Muscat where they haven't been consistently hosed with, you'll find chill people who mean well.

The curse is you.
